Sick

This is about the only time I would support a death penalty sentence.

"Do you get all upset about it? No, you just clean it up and get another glass of milk," said Scott J. Johnson, 38, of Kingsford, Mich. "It might sound sick or sadistic to come off that way but that's pretty much it."

According to a psychologist's report released Tuesday by the state Department of Justice, Johnson felt empty and numb the day of the shootings and told the doctor his "purpose was to kill. Jesus could have been walking with Moses that day and I would have killed them."

After the shootings, Johnson told the doctor he walked past a female victim on the ground. "He said that he said to her, 'You can stop playing dead now,'" before seeing her gunshot wound.

Johnson added, "You don't have to be crazy to do what I did, just angry," the report said.

Johnson won't apologize to the victims' families that day.

"I don't care what they think," he told the AP. "Anyway, considering the act I did an apology would come off as pretty weak, you know?"

I know Wisconsin does not have a death penalty. Nor do I advocate they institute one. It's just that sometimes a person comes along that defines evil. If the whole concept of state execution wasn't fraught with human error, bias, and outright bigotry and racism, I could see it's appropriate use. It's just that humans manage to screw everything up.
